The Department of Construction of Ho Chi Minh City has recently submitted a document to the City People's Committee, emphasizing the necessity of reviewing and standardizing house number data, linking it with land data, land parcel coordinates, street names, and postal codes.
According to the department, current house number data is primarily stored manually at district-level urban management offices and ward/commune offices. This leads to data fragmentation and a lack of synchronization with land data.
The main reason for this lack of synchronization is the absence of a shared software system for the 168 wards, communes, and special zones. Some localities face additional difficulties after mergers due to duplicate street names, and the land use rights certificate issuance system only records new house numbers without updating old ones. This creates significant data gaps, forcing wards and communes to re-examine data from scratch to clean up information.
To address this issue, the department proposed a specific two-phase roadmap.
Phase one, extending until November 30 focuses on reviewing and cleaning up house number data.
Phase two, concluding by December 31 aims to complete the synchronized data between house numbers, land parcels, street names, and postal codes.
The Ho Chi Minh Police and the Department of Agriculture and Environment have completed over 80% of the land data after reorganization, but significant challenges remain in updating and synchronizing house number data.
The Department of Construction, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Transformation Center, is currently surveying and proposing a plan to develop shared software, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
